CIT Vs Alpha G. Corp Development Ltd. (Delhi high Court) High Court held that strategic investments have to be considered for disallowance under Section 14A but assessee is entitled to contend that the investments are legacy Investments or one-time investment and that there is in fact no expenditure incurred to earn the tax-free income. FULL […]
HC arrived at a correct conclusion by setting aside the disallowance under section 14 A of the Act in respect of the dividend earned on the shares held as stock in trade, because such shares were held during the business activity of the assessee and it is only by a quirk of fate that when the investee company declared dividend, those shares were held by the assessee, though the assessee has to ultimately trade those shares by selling them to earn profits.

To compute disallowance under section 14A read with rule 8D AO was directed to consider only those investments which had yielded exempt income during the year.
In the present case, AO noticed investments made by assessee-company and invoked section 14A leading to disallowance whereas assessee claimed that no dividend income earned during the year under consideration. It was held since assessee-company did not have any dividend income and it had strategic investment therefore no disallowance under 14A could be made.
Depreciation claimed by assessee under section 32 cannot be considered for the purpose of computing disallowance under section 14A because section 14A deals only with the expenditure and not any statutory allowance, such as depreciation under section 32.
